07NBP-S's Minor Progress Thread
Little background: In my early 20's and i haven't had a tuner car so to speak for years. I've had a fleet of cars before hand.. 06 eclipse, 92 MR2, 03 G35, 06 RL, 06 IS350, 12 Edge Sport, 08 CSX, 12 Maxima, 11 HD F150, 13 Raptor to my current ride + 12 FX35 + 08 CBR1000RR (previous to this was an 06 GSXR750, 08 CBR1000RR, 10 1198 & 13 1199). Had fun in each and every vehicle but obviously wasted $$$ switching rides every so often. Couldn't justify spending so much on loans so I sold my Raptor and 1199 so i'd no longer have any debts to worry about it 
In their place I found a mint 07 NBP Type S with only 69k km's (43k miles). 1 owner, Elderly couple owned it, 7 year old car so its w.o. its aesthetic faults. Rock chips here and there but nothing a good detail can't fix. The car was completely bone stock when I purchased it. Since then I've added a Diehard Gold battery, Weathertech Visors, tint all around (except windshield), roof spoiler, 18" TSW nurburgring rims ( bought new but plastidipped it bronze/gold), Stoptech drilled/slotted rotors & pads, XLR8 V2 jpipie, shaved emblems, full LED interior swap, Yellow Acura emblem and yellow tinted my fogs yellow. Maintenance wise, I've replaced the 3rd & 4th pressure switch and will be going for my second 3x1 with DW-1 here very shortly.
Overall looking to keep it stock still. Only 3 more things before I stop modding. Looking into an exhaust system at the moment and debating whether or not I should purchase the Aspec kit for her. Going to re-plastidip my rims to Vintage Gold next summer. I feel the rims on it currently are too dark to the front fascia of the vehicle. Going for the black and yellow theme
